This post was written as an email to the Drake Extended Family about our common Allgood ancestors.

I have learned some interesting things since I wrote the
email about our pioneer ancestor George Allgood.

Leighanne forwarded the email to Patricia, daughter of
Paulette Fefita, daughter of Ruth Allgood Larsen. She lives in Denver and her
kids are going on trek this year. They were quite excited to learn about their
pioneer ancestor and Patricia sent me an email to find out how they are related
to George Allgood.

Patricia and I exchanged several emails. Then her kids went
to a trek fireside and as soon as they got in the car after the fireside they
asked her if we were related to an Agnes Allgood who was in the ill-fated
handcart companies of 1856.

This is what I have found out so far. I did not find an
Agnes Allgood. But I did find Langley Allgood Bailey age 18 who was in the Edward
Martin Handcart Company of 1856 with his father John Bailey 49, his mother Jane
Allgood Bailey 45, and his brothers John 15, Thomas 11 or 12, David 5. I have
established that Jane Allgood Bailey is the sister of the John Allgood who is
George’s father. Their parents are Langley Allgood and Elizabeth Wakefield. So
GeorgeAllgood and Langley Allgood Bailey are first cousins. Obviously Langley
Allgood Bailey was named after his maternal grandfather.

The Bailey family apparently settled in Nephi, Juab County
and Moroni, Sanpete County. There are at least two Jane Allgoods. One is Jane
Allgood Bailey and the other is her niece Jane or Sarah Jane Allgood the sister
of George. She lived in Coalville and Emily knew her as Aunt Jane. I do not
remember her married surname.

Langley Allgood Bailey wrote a journal and there are
excerpts at the Mormon Migration web site Mormon Migration and the Overland Travels site Mormon Pioneer Overland Travel. To find them type Langley Allgood Bailey into the search boxes and then look
at the lists of references that will come up.

I think the younger members of our family who are going on
trek would be interested in the experiences of Langley Allgood Bailey on the
trail.

I am interested in his entire journal. He later returned to
Great Britain as a missionary. If he visited family during his mission and
wrote about them, there could be some important genealogical clues. The next thing to do is to get access to the
journal and to read it.
